Bernie – Albert Dupontel

un film folle, bisogna entrarci dentro, almeno un po', altrimenti non si stabilisce un contatto.
non ce n'è uno che chiuda la porta, in questa storia.
se guardi questo film con gli occhi del saggio, sarai tu lo strano, se provi a immedesimarti ti piacerà.
un po' Dany Boon, un po' Alex de la Iglesia, un po' Jeunet e Caro, mischia quanto basta, ecco Albert Dupontel.
se ti fai prendere ti diverti anche, vedendo questo film , se no è dura - Ismaele

Humour noir trash et déjanté, Dupontel réalise un film qui sent bon la poudre et l'absence de retenue. Imposant à son oeuvre un rythme de tous les instants, il parvient à matriser un récit féroce, caustique et tendre. Pour psychopathes avertis seulement…

…N’oubliant pas de faire naître des scènes d’émotions avec un talent d’acteur comme il y a peu, Albert Dupontel parvient à nous rendre le personnage de Bernie sympathique aux travers de son errance, de sa violence, de son rapport aux autres. Entourés d’acolytes autant paumés que lui, il parvient à délivrer une critique sociale acerbe ponctuée de scènes d’anthologies morbides et trash. Un film unique, libertaire dans son absence de contrainte et qui au final donne un sentiment de liberté mêlé d’incrédulité jubilatoire.

French madness in the form of a black comedy. Bernie is an 'orphan' who decides to leave his orphanage where he has worked all his life, and seach for his parents. Trouble is, he is also a paranoid and violent-prone idiot several levels removed from reality. Amongst the things he discovers is that he was thrown into a garbage can as a baby through a garbage chute, but this is obviously the fault of 'them' and not his loving parents. His father turns out to be a psychotic sodomizer bum, and his mom has succeeded in building a respectable life, or has she? He also encounters a drug-addict, money-loving bitch whom he pays to be his girlfriend, and her sleazy wheelchair-ridden father. Sparks fly, madness and violence goes rampant, and the movie is full of one shocking, blackly comic and colorful surprise after another. A bit too full of wackos for my taste, but undeniably entertaining if you don't mind trashy over-the-top madness. Compared sometimes to Pulp Fiction for ambiguous reasons but this doesn't have that movie's sense of reality nor its inventive structure. This is more like a nasty cartoon. Some of Dupontel's subsequent comedies are similar but less nasty and insane.
